Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

Hellblade 2 picks up where Senua's Sacrifice left off. Having returned from a mind-bending trip to Hel, the 10th century Celtic warrior journeys to Iceland to fight back against the Viking raiders who destroyed her homeland. The world is steeped in Celtic and Norse mythology.
As with the first game, Senua must grapple with her psychosis, which manifests as a darkness within her, as well as helpful (and not so helpful) voices, and hallucinations of monstrous enemies. Her mental health is treated with respect and maturity, and Melina Juergens returns as the motion capture and riveting voicework for the titular character.
The sequel received a much bigger budget (thanks to Xbox's official involvement), and features a more expanded combat system, dynamic weather, and realistic physics.

There is no manual saving in Hellblade 2; the game saves frequently and automatically.

Hellblade 2 features easy, medium, and hard difficulties, but the default is Dynamic. In Dynamic difficulty, enemies become harder or easier depending on how the player is faring.
